Japanese gamers are getting a double treat on 28th July, as they'll not only be able to pick up a shiny new 3DS XL but also a copy of New Super Mario Bros. 2. The rest of us need to wait until mid-August, but we can still cast our eyes over the latest trailers for the plumber's new adventure.
Although some of this footage may look familiar, it does focus on the local multiplayer co-op mode, with one shot showing a silver Luigi and golden Mario both running around at once. Some other nifty examples of level design appear, including a giant boulder underwater, what looks like a chase level with the Koopalings, and a particularly cool looking giant Boo.
Check out the trailers below and let us know what you think.

New Super Mario Brazzers
DAT BOO..
I don't know why, but I haven't been interested in a mario game since Mario Galaxy 2. To me, that was like, the apex of the series. haha
I guess because when I compare NSMB2 or 3D Land to Galaxy, they just look kind of...bland Sorry!
Mario games make me happy. Can't help it!
@Thomas By "silver and golden mario" you mean silver Luigi and golden Mario. You can see golden Mario's slightly forward-leaning moment when he runs while the silver one is upright. And it's kind of obvious they're playing as Mario Bros.
I first tought this Game would be totaly crap with all the coins but now I´m really looking forward to playing it.
I'm looking forward to this game more and more as the release gets closer.
A lot of it will be more of the same, but that's not always a bad thing.
Plus the coin collecting thing seems like it'll actually change the game quite a bit considering you'll be focused more on collecting rather than just reaching the end of the stage.
I pre-ordered and paid for my copy this week so just gotta wait till August 18th.
No digital copy for me!
Whoaaa, check out the Silver Luigi.
I hope the game gives you the option to play as Luigi from the very beginning, much like the original NSMB, just hold L+R when you select a gamesave.
Another day, another NSMB2 trailer. Still, suppose it keeps my appetite whetted nicely!
There's just no arguing with a new Mario game. Looks like better platforming and level art than the original. Keep the footage coming.
.. That boo scared the ever living you-know-what out of me..
Luigi's coins should be silver instead of gold. Would make it more fun to compete about getting the highest amount of coins when playing per stage.
@19Robb92
It looks like the game simply counts the two player's coins together, judging from screens.
Hopefully there's competitive play that allows for two-player coin gathering contests.
@HADAA Yeah, I uploaded this on a dodgy connection earlier (video not playing well), and after a few views genuinely thought that, for some reason (maybe a special level) it was two Mario characters. Watching it yet again though and, yep, it's a Luigi. Updated the article
Dang, that boo is ugly!
Dat Boo will give many a children,and child-like adults nightmares.
@grumblebuzzz
On closer inspection, I think that giant Boo might be...German!
The more I see the more excited I am.
I can't wait to get my hands on it.
That Boo is quite the creeper.
More Action. Definitely What This Game Needed.
Anyone notice the little sliver of end of level screen like SM3 at :43?
@AcesHigh
That's the beginning actually. You'll get shot out of a cannon and have to run through the whole stage.
Pink level designs? Anyone else spot that?
Anyone else notice the cutie pie girl in the commercial? :F
This is more like it!
What the heck are they drinking at 0:25, crazy Japanese people!
... just kidding, I loves the Japan :3
That giant boo's face.... it freaks me out.
As much as I am loving the new gameplay footage, I am more interested in that white 3DS XL console the girl is playing it on. Looks sweet!
how much yen does this thing cost?
That boo made me crap my pants
Omg the wait is killing me! It's still a month away for USA release!
Me want!!
I wonder if that boo is going to be the new boss in luigis masion?
Ah! to buy a 3ds XL or not to buy a 3ds XL? I've only had my zelda 3ds for 8 months...
Hey, I think that this game may actually include online multiplayer
1. It has the nintendo network label on the case
2. It says something about having to have a wireless router for internet play on the nsmb2 official website
@rayquaza_master As far as I know that's only used for DLC levels
Woah, that Super Mario World boss reference at the very end.
